Be careful what you wish for

Knowing I am suffering extreme sewer's frustration my daughter just dropped off 40 wool felt card holders her friend is giving out as thank you favors to vendors at a craft event.

They need buttons. Yes I do know how to sew buttons.

And I need a project.

40, not 400. Whew! Glad I mis-read that.

I just decided against sewing a sundress because I would have had to sew on about eight buttons. I recently removed and sewed back on all the buttons of DH's winter jacket because two were ready to fall off. That's all my button attaching for a while. You enjoy it, though, Barbara; it's a perfect activity for you. ;)

I hope you are feeling OK. How nice to sew some buttons :)

Oh, you are a dear. I can't imagine sewing that many buttons. What a gift! I hope your recovery is moving along well.
